Definition: Consent is willingly agreeing to specific sexual behavior through words, actions, and gestures. Verbal and NON-VERBAL modes of communication, including fine nuances such as tone of voice, facial expression, and body language can often make a verbal “yes” a “no”.

**It is the sole responsibility of the person initiating the sexual behavior to clarify any confusion about consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and needs to be confirmed with every escalated intimacy. Being under the influence of alcohol can also negate consent.
